Remy, I picked this first Black Krim tonight, my first ripe full size tomato this year. I never grew any black tomato before and I was surprised how fast this one matured. (less than 60 days from transplant) There is another one on the same plant that is blushing fast. I have another BK plant, but there is no blush on any of the fruit yet.

Great! I hope your BK was a delicious as mine.

After reading about Black Krim earlier this year, I was expecting an earthy and/or salty flavor. This one hits the mouth with sweet, sweet, sweet then finishes with what I identify as old school tomato flavor. Overall, we think it's a great tasting tomato.

I can probably see this becoming part of a bloody mary mix, but can't picture using these in a sauce. Any suggestions of how to use these in something to keep for winter?

I didn't notice the salty flavor that others describe either, but I did get the slight smoky flavor, which was very nice.

With the nasty heat gone for now some of our plants are flowering again while continuing to ripen what set before the heat. My first taste of a pink brandywine was awesome. Very meaty! We've begun to can for the winter.

Great looking tomatoes. Is that tomato juice at the back?

It's a sauce that we'll spice more when we use it. We used Black Krim, Roma, Big Boy, basil, garlic, salt and peppercorns in it. You can see some white garlic pieces in the jar.

We're still learning about how the end product tastes using various types of tomatoes.

The two on the scale above. We're having a great time with these most yummy maters.....

Brandywine on the left, Black Krim on the right.

The both look great; that Black Krim looks especially juicy!
